NON-FINGERPRINT CONVICTION INFORMATION REQUEST FORM

Form ISP6-405B is to be used to initiate a request that is based on alpha-numeric subject identifiers. Such requests will result in a search of the Illinois State Police's computerized criminal history record files to produce a subject record which matches identifiers used in the search (e.g., name, sex, race, and date of birth). Any criminal history record information furnished as a result of a non-fingerprint based computerized criminal history check is based solely on a search of the identifiers provided in the request. It is not uncommon for criminal offenders to use alias names and dates of birth which could adversely affect the results of a non-fingerprint based search of the Illinois State Police's computerized criminal history record information files. The fee to process a NON-FINGERPRINT request is $16.00. The fee for all checks not drawn on United States banks is $30.00.

The fee to process a FINGERPRINT request is $20.00 ($50.00 if the check is not drawn on a United States bank.)


What Is an Illinois Background Check?

An Illinois Background Check offers a comprehensive search in public records for:

  • Vital records, like births, deaths, marriages, and divorces
  • Current contact information and previous addresses
  • Criminal records, convictions and prison records or sex offender registration
  • Civil court filings, like civil judgments
  • Tax liens and bankruptcies
  • Records of real estate ownership and registered assets
  • Professional and business licenses

Illinois background check is available through the state or through premium data aggregation services who conduct public record data searches and provide you with a report.. Each state, and sometimes each county, has different rules on how much information is available and who can access background check data. Therefore a background check may still not contain every record about a person, however in most cases it is very thorough. Most premium background check services use multiple databases of public records in order to provide you with their background reports.
